Here is how I am responding to the SCOTUS rulings and the disappointing debate last week: Finally started a recurring donation to the Biden election fund. Despair and disillusionment just helps the unvarnished evil that is the Republican Party so I refuse to give them that. Let’s f*ckin’ Joe.

Regrettably my “following” feed over there is the same as here vis a vis news. I say regrettably when of course I’m a stupid politics junkie and it’s my fault.

Traveled from Los Angeles to Rochester, NY so I can get some workouts in at…LA Fitness. 20 bucks for the day when really they should be paying *me*. I *am* “LA Fitness”.

Did…Cascade trademark the word “food”? If so…props. (Even the idea of trademarking “powers away 24 hours stuck on food” amuses me)

nah shit, sexual, like erotic (which I also considered), is 3 syllables not two. "sexy" or "vibey" isn't as fun but scans better for singing. is "clit-smash" one word? that's much more silly and thus great.

adding" sexual" after "electric" i think gets it close enough to be sing-able.

FUCK YEAH WEGMANS WOOOO (obligatory; I'm both from Rochester and currently visiting) Sadly I think they limit themselves to opening 2 stores a year and are slowly expanding from the northeast out and down. Prob won't make it to Los Angeles in my lifetime...

Bout to takeoff on second and final leg of trip to see family for a few days and it’s a bit embarrassing that there is a) a preflight check to see if passengers have *already* generated trash and b) that we had, in fact, already generated trash.

Between my wife and I, we sub to and get notifications from all three. I don’t read LATimes opinion pieces so can’t speak to them, but the headlines and push notifications are not remotely as right wing tilted as NYTimes have become (and WaPo can be).

And even more fun for the couple friends of mine who really like the bonus motivation and fun that comes from lifting with someone (I like it too but don’t need it). Plus I basically function as a free personal trainer for friends so that’s bonus. Made one inactive dude *real* strong!

Love it. Given the strong positive effects of both exercise *and* having (ideally at least 3 that you see fairly often) friends, it is sound, even without the cold one (though that makes sense too). I have an absurd garage gym (thanks COVID) and it is more fun when someone joins me.

Big respect for the garage gym lift being built into the schedule; hadn’t seen that before (seriously or ironically). I unironically like it!

Ok, so I won’t be wearing shorts in the short film we shoot two weeks from now and, indeed, haven’t worn non-swimsuit shorts in over a decade. But if anyone wants to *imagine* that I am, this should help: (Also feel free to click the link in the reply to kick in on our weird gangster thing)

Probably can make the question easier or more acute by swapping “kneeling” for “bowing”. Then it is an extra strong “nah guy” for me. I wouldn’t kneel before a god, if one existed, though, so maybe my reaction to the idea is not widespread.

Setting aside societies where bowing is the equivalent of a handshake between equals, would you bow before someone because they are whatever nation’s royalty? For me I think that’s gonna be a nah guy. I don’t bow to any other kind of hereditary wealth, so why would I for, say, the King of England?

But otherwise yeah, I’m usually doing “Tri-sets” or mini circuits of two antagonist movements supersetted together with an unrelated third thing after before resting a min and circling around again. Great for cutting down total time in the gym.

What is this, a lift for flies?! The need to be at least…three times this heavy! The only flies I do are cable pec flies (to a *very* stretched position) on one of my chest days each week. Today is just a fun strength day I’ve decided to work in once a week (heavy bench, deads, .chins and squats)

I spent my whole life learning to draw big-boobed women with two rows of teeth and six fingers on each pseudopod… and now I’ve been replaced. I guess I can fall back on my other passion: giving confident but wrong answers to general trivia questions. *chugs glue with a focused mien*
